Inherent Bias

As soon as the warning comes up that the story is not related to real events... you know it most certainly is. There are two reasons writers do these sort of stories. 1. They're out of ideas. 2. They want to make a political comment about the situation. The problem with the latter is the writers usually have to change the story line to make their point. Example: years ago Mel Gibson was arrested for DUI and made antisemitic remarks to the police. In a Law and Order episode they bring in Chevy Chase to emulate Mel's behavior. But because Law and Order doesn't deal with DUIs and to make the incident worse, the writers involved Chase's character in a murder. Mel was not involved in that level of criminal behavior. But the incident was so similar I'm sure less enlightened viewers might think, "Did Mr Gibson go that far?"

They should use that warning on all episodes snd stop ripping stories from the headlines.

It is totally inexcusable that the network, NBC, would suggest the idea of murdering a prominent WBA player is a worthy plot line. The idea of bringing up a known celebrated individual, Caitlin Clark, for all to see to serve their subversive need to present a very real possibility for their own aggrandizement is shameful and repulsive. These plot lines present a real danger to a living human being. Caitlin is a super star model of talent and grace who has been subjected to horrendous abuse on and off the court by jealous players, many times, physical abuse. To even suggest another possibility involving death is monstrous on their part. I cannot ascribe to the possibility that Miss Clark agreed to this dangerous mention of her name or was even aware of it. This episode is both reckless and shameful. I hope Miss Clark entertains a legal prosecution of NBC for this blatant threat to her safety.
